INTRODUCTION

Someone has just introduced you to the Lord Jesus Christ, and you have been
saved from your sins. Naturally you are very excited and filled with joy, but you
are not sure exactly what has happened to you, nor what is expected of you
now that you believe. This article will serve as a helpful primer for you as a
new Christian. In it, we will answer the following questions:

• What did I believe?

• What happened to me when I believed?

• Why should I serve the Lord now that I believe?

• How should I serve the Lord now that I believe?

• How do I deal with sin now that I believe?

• How do I deal with adversity now that I believe?

• What does the future hold for me now that I believe?

Anywhere in this article, does it mention Circumcision of Heart?

If it didn't, then the article series is bogus . . . a false gospel. Sorry if I sound negative, but just being extremely honest.

Colossians 2:9-15 NKJV - "For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. 11 In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with [Him] through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it."

The above seven verses are the seven most important verses any human should know. And if we do know them thoroughly, then we do not (yet) understand the True Gospel, let alone the Bible.

That is purely your opinion (based on your obsession with that term).

There are other terms that mean the same thing. The New Covenant speaks of a new heart and and a new mind, as well as a new spirit.

26A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them (Ezek 36:26,27)

Heart circumcision isn’t dependent on someone’s intellectual capacity to comprehend it nor their awareness of it. It’s purely an operation, or a working, done by God Himself.

Im sorry, but you’ve wasted a serious amount of time preaching a false gospel rather than telling people what they must do to be saved. I don’t mean to sound negative, just being extremely honest.

Acts 16:30-33
30Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.” 32Then Paul and Silas spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house. 33At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds. And without delay, he and all his household were baptized.

Your disgust and disdain for me is abundantly clear. This thread is just another reminder of such.

But as for your unsupportive reply to what I've written, I would also say that my opinion is that you are ashamed of the most Holy Word, Circumcision. But you? Are you ashamed of it?

Genesis 3:7 NKJV - "Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they [were] naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings."

Do you see the correlation between yourself and Genesis 3?

Now, if you had received Circumcision of Heart, you wouldn't knock it as you have multiple times (regarding my posts). Rather, you would promote it, for your mind would have been opened to the Mysterious and hidden Plan of God.

Perhaps one day your eyes will be opened and you won't be so annoying. I hope for that day.
